Sorry for some reason unable to view the news on podcast, neverthless I have views on questions you raised in general sense.

Is it fair that heroes who have served the nation selflessly get treated so selfishly? Should they get paid so little still when the rest of India and other heroes in other fields get a lot more monetarily?

Serving the nation is commendable but isn't it a profession too barring few who solely take up services for patriotic reasons. I wouldn't compare when it comes to fairness and heroes of other fields. If the monetary compensation is adequate to the funds available or within proximity of budget thenIMHO its fair.

Why this farce of paying respect with this stipend that cannot even pay their monthly rents?

Again not based on the news, if budgetting is a issue then yeah not right but if there are no available funds then what can be done.

The soldiers who put their life to risk saving us, should the government treat them so callously when their military term has ended?

Anyone joining forces is well aware of the risks involved, if looking at it from patriotic/emotional POV Govt should treat them better.

What type of post retirement incentives and perks would be appropriate for the valiant heroes in appreciation of their contribution in keeping India safe?

Really not sure but as I heard one of the incentives provided to service personells is accomodation, subsidized rationing, transport thrugh their term apart from monthly salaries. Am sure most of them must be opting for the job and planning thier retirement.

Actually have been thinking about this and had a questions (before I begin, I respect feelings and effort of country men in armed forces). It's a couragous act.

Q - When not in war? What are other activities are the men in army indulge in other then training? Do they get a chance to work outside thier job when there is no call of duty? Am sure the salary/perks while in service won't be so intimidating, extra income from side job would be welcomed and help save more for retirementt.

Why this farce of paying respect with this stipend that cannot even pay their monthly rents?We are heartless people.We think of big things,but doesnt pay imp. to our base.

The soldiers who put their life to risk saving us, should the government treat them so callously when their military term has ended? No,its needed they get the full respect they deserve upon retirement.There's alwas been delay/neglegence in getting allowences for the family of a dead Military or Army.

What type of post retirement incentives and perks would be appropriate for the valiant heroes in appreciation of their contribution in keeping India safe? Once evry year all those who are retiring,they shud be given t honour they deserve.Atleast they can be still put up in a position as Advisory or something like.They should feel that they havent worked all these years for nothing.

i also think they should get paid much better than they do. we unfortunately have a system in this world, where teachers and soldiers are undermined.. & that justifies the sad state of world affairs..

Why this farce of paying respect with this stipend that cannot even pay their monthly rents?
because farce and drama form the very fabric of the current society..
students stand up when professors enter the class room, bahus pull ghunghat when sasur arrives, people exchange big gift boxes and mithais although they have animosities, gossips and bad-mouthing to conduct behind back, school-going sons drop their cigerette buds when they hear their mothers, women wind up their private online chats when their husband rings the door-bell, out of control wacked teenage girls touch their parents' feet giving the parents confidence how cultured the kid is ..
so tell me where farce is absent..

The soldiers who put their life to risk saving us, should the government treat them so callously when their military term has ended?
ofcourse not, but we have no means to actually channelize all the wealth that we have from pockets of corrupt officers into pockets of those who actually served the country.
(i am very against the benefits enjoyed by great grandsons 🤢 of freedom-fighters however.. only immediate family should be supported / decorated..)

What type of post retirement incentives and perks would be appropriate for the valiant heroes in appreciation of their contribution in keeping India safe?
to provide them with all basic needs, all health benefits and average standard of living.. If the person actually participated in a war, then it should be doubled.

I've not checked the link that has been given but I did see on the news about Subedar Bana Singh, Param Vir Chakra awardee, who is given just Rs. 166 per mth by the govt. It doesn't even buy a decent meal.🤢 Some honour for a PVC hero.🤢
